That's the last of the post bags, Mrs Goggins,

and this postcard is for you.

Oh, thank you, Pat.

Ooh!

It's from my sister, up in the Highlands.

She says she's sending me a present to remind me of bonnie Scotland.

Do you miss Scotland, Mrs Goggins?

Ah, sometimes.

It's been a long, long time since I was back.

MOBILE RINGS

Oh, excuse me, Mrs Goggins.

Special Delivery Service, Pat Clifton speaking.

BAGPIPES WAIL

Hello?

Pat, can you get here right away? We've got a...

BAGPIPES WAIL

..very special delivery.

-I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye, Ben.

-Bye, Pat.

BAGPIPES WAIL

Ooh!

-We've got a special delivery, Jess.

-Miaow.

What's it going to be today?

-Bye, Mrs Goggins.

-Bye, Pat.

Hmm, that noise sounded so familiar.

Miaow.

Ben.

Ben?

BAGPIPES WAIL

Ooh!

Ben, what's that?

It's a set of bagpipes for Mrs Goggins. See?

BAGPIPES PLAY

Ooh, right.

I think I'm getting the hang of it now. It's all in the fingering.

Really? Well, I'd better get them to Mrs Goggins.

OK, Pat.

BAGPIPES WAIL

Ooh, pardon me! Bye, Ben. Come on, Jess.

-Miaow.

-Bye.

Oof!

No, hide and seek's boring.

Why don't we play Grandma's Footsteps?

That's no good. Bill always cheats.

I do not!

Do!

Oh.

Oh, where are they?

HE WHISTLES

Must be somewhere.

Hi, Ted. Is everything all right?

No. I've lost the keys to my workshop.

I put them on the Ted Glen sound and found key ring

and now they've disappeared.

Sound and found key ring?

Aye, it's my latest invention.

All you have to do is make a loud sound and the key ring beeps

and that tells you where your keys are.

Listen.

HE WHISTLES

Oh, maybe I'm just not loud enough.

Oh dear. I wish I could stay and help, but I'm on a special delivery.

BAGPIPES WAIL

KEY RING BEEPS

It's my keys!

Them pipes have done the trick.

Thanks, Pat.

You're welcome, Ted. Bye.

HE LAUGHS

It's green, it's little and there's lots of it.

Guess what.

-Grass.

-Oh... yes.

BILL SIGHS

Let's play something else.

-Like what?

-I don't know.

-Oh!

BIRDS TWEET

Stop it! Go away!

Oh!

Oh, I say! That's a bit much.

Shoo! Shoo!

What you doing, you naughty things?

Hello, love. What's going on?

Oh, Pat, it's been like this all morning.

The birds keep trying to steal bits of food and nothing scares them away.

I said shoo and I meant it!

Yes, I see what you mean.

Shoo! Shoo!

Hello, Pat.

Argh! Stop it!

-It's no good. We might as well just pack up early.

-Shoo!

I wish I could help,

but I've got to get this special delivery to Mrs Goggins.

It's OK, love, you get on. See you later.

BIRDS TWEET

TYRE BURSTS

BAGPIPES WAIL

Ho-ho, Pat, you've scared the birds away!

Have I?

Oh, Pat, you are clever.

However did you do it?

It wasn't me. It was my special delivery.

BAGPIPES WAIL

THEY LAUGH

Oh, I say, Pat. Your tyre, it's gone down.

Oh no!

Come on, Jess, we'll have to go to the sorting office and get the van.

-Bye, everyone.

-Bye, Pat.

-Bye.

-See you, love.

BAGPIPES WAIL

It's getting late, Pat.

Don't worry, Ben. We'll have these bagpipes with Mrs Goggins soon,

-won't we, Jess?

-Miaow.

Daisy, Millie, Flora,

get on with you!

THEY MOO

What on earth?

Alf, what's going on?

Ey-up, Pat, it's my cows.

They just won't budge.

THEY MOO

But I've got to get these special delivery bagpipes to Mrs Goggins

and I'm late already.

Well, I'm sorry, Pat, I don't know what to do.

Nothing's shifting them.

BAGPIPES WAIL

THEY MOO

BAGPIPES WAIL

-Alf, these are Highland cattle, aren't they?

-That's right.

-And the Highlands are in Scotland, aren't they?

-So?

So, I might know how to move them.

Bagpipes? I don't understand.

Bagpipes are from Scotland, too.

Just like the cows.

They seem to like the sound of them,

so I thought, maybe, if I play them, the cows might follow me.

Well, it's worth a try.

COWS MOO

BAGPIPES PLAY

Oh, Pat, it's working! It's working!

I'd never have believed that.

You're a regular Pied Piper, Pat.

-Thanks, Alf. Ooh, I'd better be going. Bye.

-Bye, Pat.

COWS MOO

HE SINGS "SCOTLAND THE BRAVE"

I don't want to play Duck Duck Goose.

We always play that.

All right, then, what do you want to play?

-Yes, go on, Bill.

-Yeah.

Well, er... er...

DOG BARKS

-Hello, everyone. What are you playing?

-Nothing.

-Ooh.

We can't find anything we all want to play.

Hmm.

Have you ever heard of noisy hide and seek?

Noisy hide and seek?

How do you play that?

Oh, it's easy. I used to play it when I was a wee lass.

One person is the seeker and they wear a blindfold

and everyone else has to make a special noise.

Like this?

HE GARBLES

Yes, just like that!

The seeker has to find them, by following the noise.

Brilliant!

And everyone has to make a different noise.

How about this?

SHE WHISTLES

Perfect!

-Will you show us how to play it, Mrs Goggins?

-Please!

-Yes!

Well, it's been so long.

I'd love to.

HORN HONKS

Hello, Ajay. What's up?

Hello, Pat.

I can't open the door on the mail van

and I'm meant to be picking up the coal for Pencaster, see?

-Oh, let me help you.

-Oh, but it's...

It's no good, Ajay. It's stuck.

That's what I'm trying to say.

It's a special new door.

It's only supposed to open when the Flyer whistle blows, see?

WHISTLE BLOWS

-I don't think it's loud enough.

-Hmm, not loud enough?

Hang on a minute, Ajay.

Bagpipes? How's that going to help?

Watch this.

Miaow, miaow.

BAGPIPES PLAY

Pat, you did it. Thank you.

No problem.

Come on, Jess, let's get this special delivery back on track.

HE GARBLES

Beep-beep!

Ooh, och, where are you?

Dee-dah, dee-dah, dee-dah.

SHE WHISTLES

Ooh, I can hear you.

Brum-brum-brum!

SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY

Buck-buck, buck-buck!

Goodness me, Sarah?

BAGPIPES WAIL

Hello? What's that?

That's a very familiar sound.

Oh!

BAGPIPES WAIL

Pat!

Hello, Mrs Goggins.

Here's your special delivery.

Bagpipes! Oh, they must be from my sister.

Oh, what a day!

Noisy hide and seek and bagpipes.

Can you play them, Mrs Goggins?

Well, I've not played for years,

but they do say you never forget how to play the pipes.

Miaow!

SHE PLAYS BAGPIPES TUNEFULLY

Oh, thank you, Pat.
